A panel of hand-picked gubernatorial appointees has blocked state employees from making payroll deductions to Planned Parenthood.
Gubernatorial press aide Daniel Scarpinato said Tuesday the move was made after committee members decided the organization was too “controversial” to be on the authorized list of hundreds of charities available to state workers.
Scarpinato denied that the move has anything to do with the governor’s personal opposition to abortion. But he said Ducey “supports the decision” of the panel.
